The timetable from a photo or text

Bells and subjects, classes after school, the lesson now, a phone pause during lessons. “School” is part of the subscription. For the adult and the child

“School” → “Read from a photo”: photograph the bell sheet or the weekly timetable, or pick a photo from the gallery. The photo is not kept anywhere.

  • The sheet can be shot any way up — turned or upside down; the app turns it itself.
  • From a bell sheet the lesson times are taken. If the sheet is dated, it can become a short day for that date right away.
  • From a weekly table the days and subject names are taken. Printed text is read well, handwriting less so: what could not be read stays empty for you to fill in.
  • If a lesson's time could not be read, it is worked out from its neighbours and marked “please check”.
  • If a time was read wrong, tap the lesson under “Bells”: its start and end can be changed by a minute or typed in — the other lessons stay where they are.

A photo in good light, taken straight from above with the sheet filling the frame, reads best.

Did the bells come as a message in the class chat? Copy the message and tap “Paste as text” — what you copied is pasted by itself. Lines like “1. 8.20-9.00” are needed, one lesson per line; “–” and “:” work too. “Read” — and the bells go in just as from a photo.

When saving the bells (from a photo or text) choose what they are: ordinary — for every day, or short — “Only on <day>”, with the day picked in a calendar. If the text or the sheet has a date or “for tomorrow”, it is filled in already.
